Day 2, bought the keotstix and tried them out when I got home. I assumed I'd get a pale result, as it's 7 pm and I drink about 100 oz of water. It was the second to darkest purple. I'm surprised, because I'm trying hard to keep the percentage ratio tight, so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting too much fat. i'm not super active since i feel crappy today, but this seems almost too good to be true. I hope it's a good thing.

Re: Ketone-licious
If you are a newbie, please go the the induction forum and read all of the stickys there, as well as the 2002 DANDR.
Sometimes ketostix do not turn purple and that doesn't mean you aren't in ketosis.
Ketostix can be inaccurate, and so is the scale.
Do not rely on the scale or ketostix for motivation.
If you are eating the foods that you are supposed to eat on induction you will go into ketosis.
It is important to know that you can go down entire sizes and show no movement on the scale. I know this first hand.
Rely on your tape measure and how your clothing fits. Keep going on induction and stay clean and you will have success. No matter what the scale or the ketostix say.

Re: Ketone-licious
i definitely agree with you. i find it like a fun part of the first week if anything. i had a feeling I would register dark. I just went when I got up and tested and it's the darkest prurple. I've done urinalysis on plenty of peoplew to see results all over the place, so I did it more for curiousity than proof, but it is nice to see. Thank you for the reminder of referring back tot he book, though, I find myself going to it throughout the day to make sure I'm not tweaking anything.
